We may have confused you
with the dead lines of symposium contributionsion papers. We
request that all
contributors (of either poster andincludingor oral presentations) to to submit
the following files
(through the above file uploading page). The dates for the submissions
are
1) 1-page

43) Full paper: June
30 (unless arranged differently
in person specially)
The conference record is a paper to be filed as a symposium record, and distributed to the
participants on request base. It can be a draft paper if you are to submit a
full paper. Because of the confusion in our 1st circular
and the web page, we will accept the summary till May
15th. We expect
the submission of conference records by June 4th, and they will be
posted as the poster/contributed
paper presentation in the symposiumby the organizers unless
you wish to present your own posters. The posters should be fitted in the
space (0.9 m wide and 1.5m high (max)). For those who post the
posters only (no
full paper), it
would be good to have a note made from the poster so that the participants can
have a copy.
Please submit
such a note as the conference record.
Once again, pleasePlease note that oral
presentations are
also also requested to submit the 1-page summaries
and conference records by the dates in the above. If the oral presentaters miss to submit the conference records, the organizers will post
the oral presentations instead and kindly request to submit the presentation files before 11th, hopefully around 9th for preparation.
The proceedings of this symposium will be published as a NIM special issue in an ordinary manner. The rule of NIM publication is that all papers will be refereed. Therefore, contributors are kindly requested to submit a full paper after the symposium by the end of June. Please arrange your submission date with organizer in person if you need extension of dead line.
The conference records and full papers should be submitted according to the guidelines provided by the publishing company (Elsevier):
http://authors.elsevier.com/JournalDetail.html?PubID=505701&Precis=DESC
and click “Guide for authors”. . (For your convenience, an excerpt is reproduced in the appendix
of this (and 2nd) circular, with particular
instructions for the conference record.)
The maximum numbers of pages areis:
5-6 NIM pages for a 15 - 20 minute talk or a poster/paper presentation.
6-8 NIM pages for a 30 - 40 minute review talk.
One NIM page is about 6000 characters if filled. The
compilation
of the contributedion papers can
be viewed through the
programa web page:
http://jsdhp1.kek.jp/cgi-bin/std5/agendapaper/showfile.cgi
Oral presentation:
A Projector-PC combination and an OHP will be
available. We recommend the presentation files are uploaded beforehand, by 11th,
into the program web page (see above). In case you bring the file, we recommend
an USB stick-memory or a CD-ROM for its media. We do not recommend plugging
your laptop computer in the projector to avoid mis-matches. The person who
wishes to use OHP should bring a copy with you and leave it at the registration
desk.
Poster/Contributed paper
presentation:
The conference records of both orals and posters will be posted as the
poster/contributed
paper
presentation by the organizers (unless you wish to post your own posters). The authors of the
presentations
are requested to stand by the posters on the day of relevant sessions, e.g., Silicon microstrip detector, Manufacturing, Large sys
tem applications, in the first day. If you prepare your own poster, the poster should be fit in
the space (0.9 m wide and 1.5m high (max)).
Travel
informationadvises:
There are frequent services between Tokyo
or Osaka and Hiroshima in SHINKANSEN (bullet trains). It takes about 55 hrs or 22 hrs from
Tokyo or Osaka JR stations to Hiroshima JR station,
respectively. The fare of the
SHINKANSEN NOZOMI
express between
Tokyo and Hiroshima between Tokyo and Hiroshima is about about
19,00018,500
Yen one-way and 34,500 Yen for round-trip.
Yyou can buy the ticket at the station.
A caution for NOZOMI is
most of the cars are "reserved-seats", i.e., you can take only the train of your
ticket. It has only
a few cars of
"non-reserved seats", therefore you need to queue on the track well in advance or have chance to have no
seat to sit, but
you can take any NOZOMI trains (in the non-reserved seat cars only) with the "non-reserved
seat" ticket.
You need another
few 1,000 Yen for the trains between Narita and Tokyo stations. There mightmust beis a JAPAN RAILWAY
PASS (http://www.japanrailpass.net/), (valid for any JR trains
for a period of time, sold outside Japan. A caution is you need to pay a supplementary fee to use NOZOMI trains. The pass is valid for
SHINKANSEN HIKARI trains that stop a bit more stations than NOZOMI and if you can allow slightly more
than 30 min difference) and if the price is less than 40,000 Yen,
you may better buy the pass for your round-trip between Narita and
Hiroshima.
From Kansai (Osaka Airport)
you have to take the HarukaHARUKA train to Shin-Osaka and change there into the ShinkansenSHINKANSEN to Hiroshima. Tickets can be
bought at the JR travel kiosk in the Kansai Airport (look for green JR sign). You can buy reserved seats
all the way to Hiroshima.
Please take a look at the symposium website, too. It contains travel information for other airports.
If you have to stay near the airports on
the day of arrival or the departure, hotel information can be found, e.g.,
Narita Airport: http://www.his-hotel.com/cgi-bin/tariff/htllist.cgi?select=NRT
Kansai Airport: http://www.his-hotel.com/cgi-bin/tariff/htllist.cgi?select=KIX
You may choose to stay in a city hotel in the
downtown of Tokyo or Osaka, instead. Please ask us to help youto book a
hotel if you need one.
Please take a look at the symposium website HP. It containsThere is travel
and hotel information, too.
Dinner Japanese-style:
The symposium dinner is planned at a
Japanese restaurant to enjoy and learn Japanese artistic and gastronomic culture, which might have a
similar root with the HPK's fine technology (?) It
is a kind of art, but sorry to say, it might not fill your starvation. One of our organizers
will
introduce and explain each dish at a time in the dinner.
Drink will be Japanese Sake. The dinner fee is 7000 Yen (~$60) per person.
Excursion:
We have chartered a coauch-bus
for the afternoon of 16th June.
We will visit KINTAIKYO bridge at IWAKUNI, then ITSUKUSHIMA shrine in MIYAJIMA
Island. We will return
to Essor at 19:00 by the coauch-bus.
16th June Excurrusion
13:00
Start at ESSOR (a lunch box is provided for each participant
in the coauch-bus)
14:00 KINTAIKYO bridge
16:00 MIYAJIMA
18:30 Leave MIYAJIMA
19:00 Return to ESSOR
Kintaikyo bridge is an old style wooden multiple-arch
bridge which is basically
assembled without a nail. It is quite an artistic work. Early of this year it was
rebuilt
with the same
technology.
Miyajima
Island is one of the famous three beauties in Japan, Miyajima, Amano-Hashidate
and Matsushima. There is a beautiful wooden building, ITSUKUSHIMA shrine,
standing in the shore with its gallery like spreading the wings.
A
monument, a large shrine gate, is standing in the water when the tide is high. It
has been a
national treasure and selected as one of the world
heritage. The shrine was originally developed and constructed about one thousand
years ago by the governor of Japan at that time.
Appendix:
Guide
for Authours
(Reproduced from the web pages of Elsevier Publishing Co.)
Manuscripts should be written in good English. They should be typed throughout with double line spacing and wide margins on numbered, single column pages.
(From the symposium organizer: text width of 160 mm and text height of 230 mm in a page, use the font ,Times New Roman, 12 pt, with single line spacing, for the conference record, )
The title page(s) should contain the article title, author(s) names and affiliations, the text of related footnotes and the text of the abstract. The author to whom the proofs should be sent must be indicated with her/his full postal address, telephone number, fax number and/or e-mail address. One to four classification codes (PACS-1996) and/or MSC) and up to six keywords of the author's choice should be given below the abstract.
Tables should be typed on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript. In addition to its serial number, each table should have a sufficiently detailed caption to explain the data displayed in it.
Figures should be numbered and their captions listed together at the end of the manuscript.
References in the text to other publications should numbered consecutively within square brackets and listed together at the end of the text.
Formulae in the manuscript should be clearly written or typed with particular consideration given to characters that maybe misinterpreted. Unusual symbols should be explained in pencil in the margin.
The publisher requires a set of good quality line figures and original photographs to produce the printed figures.
Line drawings should be original laser printer or plotter output or drawn in black India ink, with careful lettering, large enough to remain legible after reduction for printing.
Photographs should be originals, with somewhat more contrast than is required in the printed version. They should be un-mounted. The top side of a photograph should be marked if necessary.
Colour figures can
be printed in colour when they are judged by the Editor
to be essential to the presentation. The publisher and the author will each
bear part of the extra costs involved. Further information concerning colour
illustrations and the cost to the author is available from the publisher.
We can accept most word-processing formats (ideally Microsoft Word or WordPerfect). Please see the relevant Guide for Authors to check the style of the individual journal to which the manuscript is to be submitted, particularly the reference style. This means that fewer changes have to be made, which reduces the possibility of errors being introduced.
Most formatting codes are removed or replaced when we process your article so there is no need for you to use excessive layout styling.
Please do not use options such as automatic word breaking, justified layout, double columns or automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references).
Do use bold face, italic, subscripts, superscripts, etc., as appropriate.
When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, please use only one grid for each separate table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is being used, use tabs to align columns instead of spaces.
When you create your manuscript, please make sure it is in the following order:
Title
Authors
Affiliation
Abstract
Keywords
Main Text

Note: Do not import the Figures into the text file.
Elsevier recommend that ..., EPS ...
formats are used for electronic artwork. MS Office files (Word,
Powerpoint, Excel) are ....
EPS
Note: Virtually all common artwork creation software is capable of saving files in EPS format, this 'option' can normally be found under 'the 'Save As...' or 'Export...' commands in the 'File' menu.
For vector graphics EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files are the preferred format as long as they are provided in accordance with some common rules:
- when they contain bitmap images, the bitmaps are of a good resolution
- when colour is involved,
it should be encoded as RGB*
- they should always include an 8-bit preview/header at a resolution of 72dpi
- always include/embed fonts and only use the following in your artwork: Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Times, Symbol (see below)
- limit vertical space between parts of an illustration to what is necessary for visual clarity
- no data should be present outside the actual illustration area
- line weights should range from 0.35 pt to 1.5 pt
To enable Elsevier Science to easily identify author source files in terms of figure number and format please ensure this information is present in the filename. Some examples are given below:
fig1.tif - figure 1 in TIFF format
scheme10.eps - scheme10 in EPS format
Always ensure that the file extension is present to ensure quick and easy format identification.
To ensure that the final, published version (in print and online) matches your electronic file as closely as possible make sure that you only use the following fonts in the creation of your artwork:
Arial
Courier
Helvetica
Symbol
Times
If possible, ensure that you use only truetype fonts.
(From the symposium organizer: in Windows, True Type fonts are Arial, Courier New, Symbol, Times New Roman)
When your artwork contains non-Elsevier Science standard fonts, Elsevier Science will substitute these fonts to an Elsevier Science standard font, which may lead to problems such as missing symbols and overlapping type.
The aim of Elsevier Science is to have a uniform look for all artwork contained in one article. It is important to be aware of the journal style as some of our publications have special instructions beyond the common guidelines given here.
- As a general rule the lettering on the artwork should have a finished, printed size of 7 pt for normal text and not smaller than 6 pt for subscript and superscript characters. Smaller lettering will yield hardly legible text. This is a rule-of-thumb rather than a strict rule. There are instances where other factors in the artwork. For example, tints and shadings dictate a finished size of perhaps 10 pt.
- When deciding on the size of a line art graphic, in addition to the lettering there are several other factors to assess. These all have a bearing on the reproducibility/readability of the final artwork. Tints and shadings have to be printable at finished size. All relevant detail in the illustration, the graph symbols (squares, triangles, circles, etc.) and a key to the diagram (to explain the explanation of the graph symbols used) must be discernible.
- Sizing halftones (photographs, micrographs, etc.) can normally give more problems than line art. It is at times difficult to know what an author is trying to emphasise on a photograph, so you can help us by identifying the important parts of the image for us, perhaps by highlighting areas on a photocopy. The best advice that we give to our graphics suppliers therefore is to not over-reduce halftones. They should pay attention to magnification factors or scale bars on the artwork and compare them with the details inside. If the set of artwork contains more than one halftone, again make sure that there is consistency in size between similar diagrams.
- Halftone/line art combinations are difficult to size, as factors for one may be detrimental for the other part. In these cases the author can help out by suggesting an appropriate final size for the combination.
